Slight dissappointment

(Hershey - 6/13/08)

Not qualified to really offer a professional opinion, but I've taken over 18,000 digital photos over the years. I'm comfortable with the S5 after about 3 months of use, but I miss the wider view that previous cameras (1/2 the price cameras) give. The lens cap is a real challenge to keep on. I really like the smooth telephoto adjustments and image stabilization. I do wish that I had held back a little longer and perhaps found a camera that might have fit my needs a little closer in the same or nearly same price range.
